The Egyptian siege on Gaza continues

Egypt has now closed the Rafah crossing for the second (update: third) straight day. Students, medical patients and other travelers cannot leave or enter Gaza from Egypt.

Egypt had closed Rafah during the Eid al Adha holiday, and then opened it only to allow Gaza pilgrims who went on Hajj to return to their homes.

1450 people crossed Rafah on Friday.

No NGOs seem to be too excited about this.
